How did video games influence your music taste?

For me, my music taste was mostly shaped by games like Need For Speed, GTA, and Saints Row, Burnout Paradise, Forza. Those games introduced me to alot of the Alt Rock, Rap, and Electronic music that there is out there. What games did you play and how did it shape your music taste?

I just never got into music at all. I don't mind some soft rock, hip hop, or uplifting christian rock sometimes however I don't listen to music. It's just the way I am idk why. I'm not a robot but am somewhat antisocial.

A lot of the music I listen to now is stuff directly from game soundtracks, mostly action and ambience music. I suppose associating the music with the fun I had played a role. In a similar vein, the not-from-games music I listen to is largely epic-orchestral, as well as some that is more moody or background-type music (if that makes sense).

I played a lot of Halo, Star Wars, and Call of Duty games as a kid and it really shows in my YouTube music playlists.

Hmmm I think it was around when I bought the Super Smash Bros for Wii and I started to realize video game music could be super cool as well. Since then when I watch gameplay's or play some PC games I am always observing for good music.

A good example is Detroit: Become Human, I loved the main theme so much I am learning it on piano.

I can already play the first 40 seconds of the soundtrack and it has only been 2 days. Sometimes I like to jam out to video game music like Bayonetta's Moon River to match the mood.

Honestly, the music I listen to now hasn't been shaped by video games. I'll gladly listen to soundtracks while I am working on stuff, but when I am at work or driving, I'll typically listen to Rock and Metal.
